True peace comes from understanding. Lets say there is a person I dont get along with. I start to buy them Lunch everyday. Well, this will create an uneasy truce, but it wont buy me respect or freindship.

There is a difference between buying someone lunch, (which is easy for anyone of money to do and creates a question of ulterior motives), and praising them in front of their boss, helping them to get a promotion, enabling them to better afford their own lunch.

Reminds me of a metaphor my dad once shared about the difference between Democrat and Republican approaches....
